My Fazer's front wheel was hit by a passing car (tore a hole in the bike cover too, bastards!) and it knocked the alignment out, so today, I was tinkering with the forks to get them back straight.
Anyway, when I was tightening the yolk bolts back up I thought I'd give dropping the forks by 10mm a go (or at least that's how much of the tube is protruding out the top yolk).
Gave it a test run and it feels completely different, holds it's line alot tighter in corners. "Feels planted" is the phrase I'd use. Not sure whether I'll keep it this way or not, I like being able to flick it around in London traffic, and the Fazer is good at that when normal.
What are the disadvantages/ risks of this set-up? Anybody have any interesting experiences with dropped forks, or can recommend a set-up that works for you?
Thanks
